ROH ON HONOR CLUB is back this Thursday night only at WatchROH.com, and history begins to be made once again with this week's edition! The landmark ROH Women's World Television Championship Tournament begins this week with four big match-ups, plus former ROH World Tag and World Television Champion Kenny King returns to the fold, “Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith is in action, and Lance Archer unites with The Righteous for trios competitions! All that, and more, begins at 7pm ET/6pm CT on Honor Club, and also includes The Infantry in action, The Outrunners, and more for your ROH ON HONOR CLUB membership! ROH WOMEN'S WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT... First Round Matches Rachael Ellering vs. “Legit” Leyla Hirsch After a rocky start to their relationship, thanks to the involvement of Maria, Rachael Ellering and Leyla Hirsch have gelled into a solid pairing. They've picked up a couple victories in tag team action, but have also been there to support one another in their individual endeavors, but with the announcement of the ROH Women's World TV Title Tournament, the chance that these two friends could collide became a possibility. They've danced once before, a victory for Leyla Hirsch on HONOR CLUB #25, but that was quite many months ago, and these two women have become far more familiar with the capabilities of each other than they were then. So after the miscommunication that Hirsch a victory in last week's Four Corner Survival, can the friendship between these two sustain another blow with the outcome of this first round tournament match? Will they shake hands when the final bell rings and accept the result, or will losing an opportunity to be the first ROH Women's TV Champion prove to much for their friendship to endure? Diamante vs. Kiera Hogan Last week Diamante won that aforementioned Four Corner Survival by pinning Leyla Hirsch, but Kiera Hogan was also part of that bout, and it was another situation where she found herself wrapped up in a match involving Diamante. Three consecutive weeks Diamante and Kiera have been on opposite sides of the ring, starting with a Trios Tag on #48 won by Diamante, Leila Grey, and Taya Valkyrie, followed by a Four Corner Survival on #49 that also included Trish Adora, but was won by Red Velvet. Last week's Four Corner Survival made it three in a row, and now with the kick-off of the Women's TV Title Tournament, these two competitors will have a fourth consecutive week of facing one another, but for the first time since November 2019, it will be a one-on-one contest! That night so long ago the battle went in favor of Diamante, but with the championship implications of this bout, both women are going to be fighting with everything they've got to advance! Who will move onto the next round of this historic tournament and get one step closer to becoming the first? Mercedes Martinez vs. Trish Adora Now Trish Adora and Mercedes Martinez have a bit of a history when it comes to Ring of Honor, not one steeped in animosity or grudges, but rather one of a competitive nature dating back to their first meeting on the 5/16/22 edition of DARK: ELEVATION where Mercedes successfully defended the ROH Women's World Championship against Adora. The two would meet again, a little over a year down the line, following the launch of ROH ON HONOR CLUB and that battle would go the same way as the first: Mercedes with her hand raised in victory. Trish and Mercedes have been in the ring with each other before with a championship in the picture, but this time neither is the defending champ, each one just hopeful they'll be the first one crowned ROH Women's World TV Champion when all is said and done. The motivation isn't remaining champion for Martinez, but instead she is in the same position as Trish Adora was in their first encounter; a challenger, and that is what both women will be until the Finals are completed and the last woman standing is handed the championship belt for the first time. Can Mercedes get closer to scoring her second Ring of Honor championship, or will this be the beginning of Trish Adora's road to her first? Queen Aminata vs. J-Rod With a tough singles match set for RAMPAGE against Anna Jay, Queen Aminata must first step onto the field of the ROH Women's World TV Title Tournament and attempt to move forward toward the ultimate goal of becoming the first Women's TV Champion! There are plenty of voices singing Aminata's praises for her efforts the last few weeks in AEW, and continuing to move forward in this tournament will only bolster those supporters. That being said, this is also a tremendous opportunity for the newcomer to Ring of Honor to make a tremendous impact on the landscape of this tournament. J-Rod has never been inside a ROH ring before, and only once inside the AEW one, and with just two years of experience under her belt, J-Rod is most assuredly the underdog of these match-ups Thursday night. If she can find a way to stop Aminata and move onto the next round herself, J-Rod will instantaneously make a name for herself the way Queen Aminata has with her performances over the last several weeks! A CHAMPION RETURNS... Dalton Castle vs. Kenny King He is a 3-Time former ROH World Tag Team Champion, a 2-Time ROH World Television Champion, a former member of La Faccion Ingobernable with RUSH, and one of the best all-around athletes to ever grace the ROH ring! He is “The Pretty Boy Pitbull” Kenny King and this Thursday night on Honor Club he comes home for the first time since FINAL BATTLE 2021: END OF AN ERA! It's not just a homecoming for Kenny King because it's Ring of Honor, but also because he's stepping into the ring with a very familiar foe in Dalton Castle! They first crossed paths in 2016 when Kenny and Rhett Titus, collectively the All Night Express, defeated Dalton and The Boys in a 2-on-3 bout, but that was just the first of their sixteen meetings over the next four years. Tags and trios, Four Corner Survivals and Six Man Mayhems, but only one other time did they ever lock-up in a singles bout, a match won by Kenny King during ROH WRESTLING #390 (available as part of an Honor Club subscription) in 2019. Their last engagement took place on October 20, 2020, a tag team victory for King and Rocky Romero, but this Thursday night they get an opportunity to bring it back around! Can Dalton Castle, in his seemingly fruitless quest to get Johnny TV in a match, at least find satisfaction in a victory over Kenny King? Or will the multi-time ROH Champion make his homecoming a triumphant one? ALSO FEATURING: -“Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith in action! -Lance Archer & The Righteous in Trios Competition! -The Outrunners! -The Infantry of Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean!

ROH ON HONOR CLUB comes your way exclusively on WatchROH.com, and this week's edition is jam-packed with the best professional wrestlers in the world! The excitement begins at 7pm ET/6pm CT, and features The Infantry uniting with Iron Savages to take on Shane Taylor Promotions and Maria's Baby Boys, plus Billie Starkz in action, Aaron Solo battling Ethan Page, and so much more as ROH ON HONOR CLUB comes to you this Thursday night as part of your Honor Club membership! Be sure to sign up to enjoy, not just the weekly ROH presentation, but also hits from the 20+ years deep vault of the most influential wrestling promotion of the century! ONE-ON-ONE... “All Ego” Ethan Page vs. Aaron Solo The comments made by “All Ego” Ethan Page in the video embedded above were made before his victory over Slim J last week, but the sentiment was only further solidified by that win over the high-flying veteran. Ethan is here for the ROH World Television Championship held by Kyle Fletcher, and while Kyle is a bit wrapped up with Don Callis Family business at the moment, “All Ego” is going to keep grinding away until he gets the title opportunity he has earned. Even now, with just one month of 2024 behind us, it's hard to argue against Page's credentials as a challenger. Not only has he won both of his 2024 contests in Ring of Honor, but Ethan has actually won his last six Ring of Honor contests, and is 10-2 overall in ROH competition heading into this fight with Aaron Solo. It's reasonable to say that, if not for the issues with Tony Nese eating up his bandwidth last December, “All Ego” would've at least been involved in the Survival of the Fittest Tournament that led to Kyle Fletcher winning the vacant ROH World TV Title. So instead of getting to the championship that way, Ethan will continue to battle everyone ROH puts across the ring from him, and this week that means Aaron Solo! Solo is a man looking for his purpose once again, and perhaps that means a championship endeavor for him as well; all he needs to do is start putting together the victories like Ethan Page has, and what better way to start than by knocking “All Ego” down in the dirt! SINGLES MATCH... Johnny TV vs. Dalton's Friend Ever since FINAL BATTLE 2023, Dalton Castle has been desperately trying, though quite in vain, to get Johnny TV to fight him in the ring. The stress of this endeavor has obviously gotten to the former ROH World Champion, his hygiene isn't up to the standards of a Peacock, he doesn't seem to know where his shoes are anymore, and poor Lexy Nair has had to document this downward spiral week-after-week.  But after that announcement from Jerry Lynn that Dalton Castle's friend would be given a match on ROH, and Johnny TV saying he would take that match, things may be finally turning around for Dalton! That is if he can stay out of a laundry bin, hopefully that was a laundry bin and not trash one he fell into in the above embedded video; either way, Dalton Castle's mystery friend will be in the ring this Thursday evening for a match with Johnny TV! Johnny promises to show this individual what being “TV Ready” means, while Castle seems unable (maybe unwilling) to provide details about his friend. FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL... Trish Adora vs. Kiera Hogan vs. Diamante vs. Leyla Hirsch As mentioned in the video above, the brackets for the ROH Women's World TV Title Tournament are coming soon, and that means every match is crucial towards sorting out the field of competitors! Over the past few weeks we have seen several Four Corner Survival bouts, multiple multi-woman tags, as well as traditional wrestling contests, and all have helped shape the field of potential competitors vying for the new championship. Last week it was Red Velvet who stepped up in the Four Corner Survival, while Billie Starkz and Queen Aminata scored singles victories, so which of these competitors will make their impression felt this week? ALSO FEATURING: -Four Corner Survival: Jack Cartwheel vs. AR Fox vs. Willie Mack vs. Komander -Gravity vs. “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson -The Infantry & The Iron Savages vs. Shane Taylor Promotions, Cole Karter, & Griff Garrison -Billie Starkz in action! -Penta El Zero Miedo & El Hijo del Vikingo in tag team competition!! -The Workhorsemen in action! -Taya Valkyrie in singles competition! -And more!!!

ROH ON HONOR CLUB is available exclusively at WatchROH.com, and this week's edition brings to you a collection of the absolute best professional wrestlers competing today! The action begins at 7pm ET/6pm CT, and includes ROH World Tag Team Champions Matt Taven and Mike Bennett taking on another Proving Ground fight, this time against Fred Rosser and “Filthy” Tom Lawlor! Plus The Infantry battles The Righteous, Nyla Rose in action, Billie Starkz in action, Aaron Solo taking on Dalton Castle and so much more as ROH ON HONOR CLUB comes to you this Thursday night as part of your Honor Club membership! PROVING GROUND MATCH... ROH World Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) vs. Fred Rosser & “Filthy” Tom Lawlor Though they first captured the ROH World Tag Team Titles from MJF under a guise of deception and lies, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett are worthy champions. After all, this is their third go-round atop ROH's tag division, and over the three matches they've had since winning the belts, they've had two Proving Ground bouts, and one successful title defense. That means, contrary to the underhanded way in which they became champs, they've at least operated with some level of honor as the champions. That continues this week on Honor Club when The Undisputed Kingdom steps onto the Proving Ground once again, and this time they are giving an opportunity to a team newborn this Thursday night: Fred Rosser and “Filthy” Tom Lawlor! What's fascinating about this team-up is that these are two individuals who have done nothing but fight one another over the last three years. Be it in NJPW STRONG, New Japan proper, Prestige Wrestling, or even in the multiverse, Fred Rosser and Tom Lawlor have only ever been enemies. They've battled over the NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship currently held by Eddie Kingston, in their head-to-head Lawlor holds three wins to Rosser's two while in their multi-man affairs it's Rosser who holds a 7-4 lead on “Filthy”, and yet this Thursday night, with a potential shot at the ROH World Tag Titles on the line, they've got to figure out how to work together against two men whose bond runs deeper than blood. ONE-ON-ONE... Aaron Solo vs. Dalton Castle What is life for Dalton Castle these days? Ever since FINAL BATTLE 2023, he's been unraveling and with Johnny Television being the source of these woes, all the former ROH World Champion has wanted is a fight with Johnny TV. Unfortunately that's night a fight he's been able to get, and it has driven Castle right over the edge! It's pretty clear from the video embedded above that Dalton is barely holding on to his last threads of sanity, that is until he hears the bell ring to start his latest match, and then he snaps back into fighting form. That is when Dalton Castle finds the man who beat Cody Rhodes for the ROH World Championship, who beat Dragon Lee for the ROH World TV Championship, and who stands as a 2-Time ROH World Six-Man Champion alongside The Boys. That's the man who better show up to compete this Thursday night on Honor Club when Dalton Castle is scheduled to take on a man quite familiar with how Johnny TV operates: Aaron Solo. The former QTV rep returned to the ring last week in a losing effort opposite Zak Knight, and is looking to get his ship right after several months off from in-ring action. If there was ever a time for Solo to capitalize it's now, while Dalton Castle is at his most vulnerable, but can he do it? Or will this be another night Castle returns to form, if only for ten minutes, before collapsing into himself once more as he struggles to deal with Johnny TV? ALSO FEATURING: -The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) vs. The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean) -“All Ego” Ethan Page vs. Slim J -Four Corner Survival: Jack Cartwheel vs. Alex Zayne vs. Blake Christian vs. Lee Johnson -Four Corner Survival: Trish Adora vs. Kiera Hogan vs. Diamante vs. Red Velvet -Gringo Loco vs. TMDK's Bad Dude Tito -Queen Aminata in action! -Billie Starkz continues her march towards the ROH Women's World TV Title! -“The Native Beast” Nyla Rose back in the fight!

ROH ON HONOR CLUB is available only at WatchROH.com, and this week's edition showcases some of the finest professional wrestlers on the planet today! The action gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT, and includes the ROH World Tag Team Champions, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett of The Undisputed Kingdom, welcoming Gringo Loco and Gravity onto the Proving Ground! Plus Iron Savages and Jacked Jameson in Trios action against The Infantry and Lee Moriarty, as well as a huge Woman's Trios contest including Lady Frost and Taya Valkyrie! In addition, Zak Knight is back in action against Aaron Solo, The SAP meet Griff Garrrison and Cole Karter in a tag team battle , and plenty more on tap when ROH ON HONOR CLUB comes to you this Thursday night EXCLUSIVELY on Honor Club! TAG TEAM ACTION... The SAP (Angelico & Serpentico) vs. Cole Karter & Griff Garrison (w/ Maria) For the better part of the last month, Angelico and Serpentico have been married to Cole Karter and Griff Garrison, and unfortunately been on the losing end of that equation almost every time. Whether it was Serpentico dropping singles matches to both of them or trying to team up to fight Dalton Castle, The Boys, and Gravity and failing, victory has not been on the side of The Spanish Announce Project. But that hasn't stopped them from coming after Maria's baby boys, even attacking them backstage during an interview, and now their little rivalry comes to a head this Thursday night on Honor Club when the two duos finally meet in tag team action! Can Serpentico, with Angelico at his side, finally find a victory over Cole and Griff? Or will it be Maria's presence that sways the balance to the side of her baby boys and puts another defeat on The SAP record? WOMEN'S TRIOS BOUT... Diamante, Leila Grey, & Taya Valkyrie vs. Kiera Hogan, Lady Frost, & Trish Adora To say the Women's Division in Ring of Honor is tense would be quite an understatement, just look at the interview embedded above that Lexy Nair attempted to get with the four women involved in last week's 8-Woman tag team bout. The tension that was quite evident there unsurprisingly led to a loss for Taya's team, and perhaps it is because everyone is jockeying for their position in the ROH Women's World Television Title picture, but that isn't stopping unions from being formed where it's convenient. Such is the case this Thursday night when Taya Valkyrie is aligned with Diamante and Leila Grey to take on two of the women who bested her last week, Lady Frost and Kiera Hogan, and their third Trish Adora.  Now several weeks ago it was Taya, partnered with the Renegade sisters, who handed Frost, Hogan, and Adora a Trios loss, but with these two new partners, will she have the same success? And when the time comes for the Television Title picture to become clear, how will these multi-woman bouts factor into the equation? There are lots of hungry individuals in the division, and at this point it seems few allies supporting one another beyond the convenience of the moment. Will these six women find their names in the hat when title talk time comes? ALSO FEATURING: -Nyla Rose in action! -Zak Knight vs. Aaron Solo -The Righteous in tag team competition! -The Outrunners vs. Willie Mack & Blake Christian -“All Ego” Ethan Page in action! -Red Velvet!! -Billie Starkz competes! -Abadon is back! - AND MORE!!!!!

ROH ON HONOR CLUB is EXCLUSIVELY available at WatchROH.com, and features the best in wrestling action from competitors around the globe! The night kicks off at 7pm ET/6pm CT, and features Kyle Fletcher again defending his ROH World Television Championship, this time against Christopher Daniels, while Matt Taven and Mike Bennett put their ROH World Tag Titles on the line against the Iron Savages, and the AAA Mega Championship is at stake between champion El Hijo del Vikingo and challenger Action Andretti! All that, and plenty more, is coming to you on Thursday night only on Honor Club! ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Kyle Fletcher(c) vs. “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels Kyle Fletcher's quest to be the best continues this Thursday night on Honor Club as the ROH World Television Champion takes on the challenge of ROH's first Grand Slam Champion: “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels! With thirty-four days and two defenses to his resume thus far, Fletcher has a long way to go to break the records held by Samoa Joe (length of reign) and Jay Lethal (# of defenses), but this member of Don Callis' Family is in it for the long haul.  Unfortunately for him, that road has to go through one of the most successful members of the ROH roster, the first man to hold the ROH World, Tag Team, Television, and Trios Championship titles, just a Pure Championship away from holding every title possible. Daniels has been on a quest to capture any Ring of Honor gold since the new era began, challenging for the World Title, the Six-Man Titles, the Pure Title, and the TV Title all in 2023, but has been stifled in every attempt thus far. Can “The Fallen Angel” turn those fortunes around and pick up his first ROH Championship since he, Scorpio Sky, and Frankie Kazarian wore the Six-Man straps in 2018? Or will Kyle Fletcher continue his quest to be the best? He has already surpassed the reigns of Minoru Suzuki, Will Ospreay, and Dalton Castle, and that of Tracy Williams is next on the list should Kyle defeat Daniels this Thursday! ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)(c) vs. Iron Savages (Bronson & Boulder w/ Jacked Jameson) When it was revealed that The Devil's Masked Men who'd taken the ROH World Tag Titles from MJF were Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, it looked like The Kingdom finally got what they'd been chasing since the dawn of the ROH's new era. For the third time Taven and Bennett had their hands on the championships they last lost to The Briscoes at FINAL BATTLE 2021: END OF AN ERA, but now that they have them, the fight to keep them begins! It starts this Thursday night with their very first defense, and their opponents are the hungry young pair known as Iron Savages! Bronson and Boulder are coming off a victory over The Boys last week, and hope to parlay that victory into their first taste of championship success in Ring of Honor. They've scored championships in their life outside AEW/ROH, but now is the time for Bronson and Boulder to experience that success in Ring of Honor! Can Iron Savages redeem their December 2nd COLLISION loss to Taven and Bennett and shatter the domination aspirations of The Undisputed Kingdom? AAA MEGA CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... El Hijo del Vikingo(c) vs. Action Andretti Ten days ago El Hijo del Vikingo officially became the longest-reigning AAA Mega Champion of all-time, surpassing Kenny Omega's 765 day record, and he gets to celebrate it this Thursday night on Honor Club with a bout against one of pro wrestling's hottest young stars! Action Andretti first burst onto the scene with that upset victory over Chris Jericho at DYNAMITE: WINTER IS COMING 2022, and at first was fighting to prove it wasn't a fluke. Now, over a year later, Andretti has shown the world that his talent is what got him to that spot, and now it's just a matter of time before he wears a championship title around his waist! Perhaps that will finally come to fruition with this ROH ON HONOR CLUB AAA Mega Championship bout! Action and Vikingo have clashed in the past, with Andretti and Top Flight taking that Trios victory, they've also been on the same side of a losing Trios contest with BULLET CLUB GOLD, but this will be their first one-on-one encounter, and given their respective skill sets, it is certain to be a hard-hitting, high-flying exhibition of unforgettable proportions! ONE-ON-ONE... Mark Briscoe vs. Serpentico Wednesday night marked one year since the untimely passing of Jay Briscoe, and his memory was celebrated by the incredible moment in the video embedded above. However, this Thursday night on Honor Club, the grind continues as Mark Briscoe returns home for the first-time since FINAL BATTLE 2023 to take on The SAP's Serpentico! As of late, Serpentico has been wrapped up in issues with Griff Garrison and Cole Karter, but this week he'll have to focus on other things when he steps into the ring with the former 13-Time ROH World Tag Champion! ALSO FEATURING: -DIAMANTE IN ACTION! -TOP FLIGHT VS. THE BUTCHER & THE BLADE!! -BILLIE STARKZ, KIERA HOGAN, LADY FROST, & QUEEN AMINATA VS. LEYLA HIRSCH, RACHAEL ELLERING, ROBYN RENEGADE, & TAYA VALKYRIE!!! -CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI VS. BRYAN KEITH!!!! -NYLA ROSE IN ACTION!!!!! -AND SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!

ROH World Six-Man Championship Match! The Mogul Embassy (c.)—Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, & “The Machine” Brian Cage vs. Bullet Club Gold— “Switchblade” Jay White, and The Gunns—Austin & Colten! Toa backed up Jay White. Toa tried for a chop, but Jay ducked it. Jay blistered up Toa’s chest with chops of his own. Toa retaliated with a heavy chop and then multiple knee strikes to Jay’s lower back. Bishop Kaun tagged in and continued the assault on White. Jay White landed a dragon screw leg whip and tagged out to Colten. Colten stomped on Kaun and then Austin tagged in. Cage grabbed a tag but ate some right hands from Austin. Brian Cage retaliated with a German Suplex. The Gates of Agony double teamed Austin, double teaming him. Colten tagged in and cleaned house on the Mogul Embassy! Colten nailed Cage with a neck breaker. Toa ran in and sent Colten for a ride with a wicked pounce! The Gates of Agony hurled Colten into Cage and Cage power bombed Colten! Kaun connected with an Air Raid Crash, but Austin and Jay ran in to make the save and break up the pin. Jay White shoved Cage into the steel ring post! Jay White lit up Bishop with heavy chops, sending thunderous echoes throughout the arena. The Gunns blasted Cage with the 3:10 to Yuma! Bishop Kaun split leg dropkicked the Gunns. Kaun distracted the ref while Prince Nana tripped up Jay White. Kaun hit a lung blower on Jay White for a near fall. Prince Nana jumped in the ring with the belt, ready to hit White while Kaun distracted the ref. Anthony Bowens sprinted to the ring and pulled the belt away from Prince Nana! Jay White rocked Kaun with the Blade Runner and pinned him! And new ROH World Six-Man Champions…Bullet Club Gold! AEW Trios Champs The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass came out onto the ramp and saluted Bullet Club Gold with the scissor hand gesture. “Could we be seeing the genesis of the Bang Bang Scissor Gang?” wondered Excalibur.

ROH WORLD SIX-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... The Mogul Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage, & Toa Liona)(c) vs. BULLET CLUB GOLD (Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, & Jay White) On the heels of defeating The Righteous and “The Murderhawk Monster” Lance Archer to retain the ROH World Six-Man Titles, Prince Nana actually stepped up to the plate and made the challenge himself for BULLET CLUB GOLD to fight The Mogul Embassy this Wednesday night on DYNAMITE! It wasn't The Bang Bang Gang chasing after them, although they've definitely voiced those intentions, but the champions taking the first shot rather than potential challengers. “Switchblade” Jay White and The Gunns had no problem accepting the challenge, nor any qualms about mocking their opponents this week in South Carolina. While that may not be the smartest move, mockery is something in which The Bang Bang Gang is well versed, and frequently uses to play with their opponents before the big fight. These three members of BC GOLD have had a few weeks to rest up, something sorely needed by Jay White after his tour of duty in the Continental Classic, and are ready to bring some gold to their little clique, but to do that, they'll have to survive three of the biggest, baddest monsters in All Elite Wrestling or Ring of Honor, as well as one of the craftiest managers pro wrestling has seen in the last twenty years!

Anthony Henry of the Workhorsemen interrupted, saying they were on a roll, and he wanted to fight Kingston tonight! Kingston offered a Proving Ground match. Tony Khan said he’d sanction the match and if Anthony Henry can last 10 minutes or win the match, he will earn a shot at the winner of the Continental Classic! The main portion of ROH: Final Battle 2023 kicked off with… AAA Mega Championship Title Match! El Hijo Del Vikingo (c.) vs Black Taurus!

Vikingo jumped over the top rope, but Taurus caught him midflight and then planted him hard on the arena floor! Black Taurus showed off his power again with a ripcord powerslam on Vikingo. Black Taurus grabbed Vikingo by the neck and threw him over the top rope. Black Taurus followed up with a spinning tope suicida to Vikingo. Black Taurus crushed Vikingo with a crucifix driver!
